Hi guys! I've been working on this character for a while. It started out closer to the original 8bit MegaMan but I've been trying to take some distance from it and work the stance and volume.

I'd like to know what you think of it and if you have any tips to improve it further. I think it may have lost some readability in the process.

I'm working with NES-like limitations. Thanks!

I like the second, the third is a bit overkill yes.

The only feature that stands out is her hair, if you want her to be more distinguishable from megaman you might have to enhance other features either in form or color, eyes, waist, hips and chest... Right now without the hair she still reads like a guy.

Good luck!

About the design, isn't her hair loose like that very impractical? I'd hide it in my suit, or at least braid is or tie it off!

It's a tricky design to be convincing without the femininity, because she is so extremely similar to Megaman. Perhaps consider some other, non feminine features which set her apart from the original design?

An example of how to help turn her into Mega Woman:


I made her less bulky, slimmer shoulders, thinner and longer legs. More pronounced chest armor, and tried to put some hair inside of her helmet. I based this on a quick google on "female megaman images" and picked out the common features which I liked.

I hope this helps a bit!
